Finished this poster for the Socialism club night at the Thekla last week. I've never managed to complete a rubix cube in my entire life. If you have then let me know how it feels to be a puzzle master. Puzzle puzzle.

Jumping Jupiter! My copy of Beasts Book 2 arrived yesterday and I've finally put it down long enough to photograph it. A huge thank you to Jacob Covey for asking me to take part in the project. The book looks sublime and contains over 90 artist's interpretations of Beasts. It really is awesome. Here is the cover and my illustration printed in the book.

Just finished this new print of my beast from Beasts Book Two printed by Fantagraphics. Giant Robot in San Francisco are hosting an incredible show of prints and original art work from both books one and two of Beasts that starts on the 17th January. Images from the book and new permutations will make up the 100 beasts on display. Check out the Beasts blog for more updates. My original beast that features in the book can be seen below.
